Overview

FprEN ISO 5210 / ISO/DIS 5210:2025 - Industrial valves - Multi-turn actuator attachments defines the mechanical interface between multi-turn actuators (and/or gearboxes) and industrial valves or intermediate supports. Published under CEN/ISO cooperation, this draft standard specifies flange dimensions, driving/driven component geometry, and reference torque and thrust values for standardized actuator-to-valve attachment.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Flange dimensions and layout
  • Defines standard flange types (F05 … F60) with prescribed diameters, bolt holes, spigots/recesses and minimum landing areas.
  • Hole positions are equi-spaced and located off‑centre according to specified angles.
• Maximum torque and thrust
  • Provides reference maximum simultaneous torque (Nm) and thrust (kN) per flange type (Table 1). Examples: F10 = 100 Nm / 40 kN; F40 = 10 000 Nm / 1 100 kN; F60 = 40 000 Nm / 4 000 kN.
  • Values are based on bolts in tension at 290 MPa and a friction coefficient of 0.2; Annex A explains calculation assumptions.
• Driving and driven component dimensions
  • Prescribes dimensions for actuator driving components and valve driven components (Groups A–D for combinations transmitting torque and/or thrust, plus provisions for linear actuators).
• Bolting and tolerances
  • Bolting clearances reference ISO 273; hole diameters and tolerances (e.g., f8 for spigot) and nut/head landing rules are specified.
• Designation and documentation
  • Flanges are designated by flange type (F05–F60); the standard includes normative Annex B on keys/keyways and informative Annex A on calculations.

Applications

• Ensures mechanical compatibility between actuators and valves across manufacturers.
• Used for specification, procurement and design of:
  • Rotary and multi‑turn actuators and gearboxes
  • Valve bodies and intermediate supports
  • OEM assemblies in oil & gas, power generation, water treatment, chemical and process industries
• Helps sizing and selection by providing reference torque/thrust ratings and flange interfaces to avoid overloading fasteners or interfaces.

Who should use this standard

• Valve manufacturers and actuator suppliers
• Mechanical design and piping engineers
• Procurement/specification authors and system integrators
• Test laboratories and conformity assessors

Related standards

• ISO 273 (fastener clearance holes) - normative reference in ISO 5210
• Other valve/actuator interface standards and valve product standards (refer to the standard’s bibliography for specifics)

Using FprEN ISO 5210 / ISO 5210:2025 improves interoperability, simplifies procurement, and reduces engineering rework by standardizing the valve-actuator interface, flange geometry, and reference torque/thrust ratings.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to establish certain basic requirements for the attachment of multi-turn
actuators, in order to define the interface between actuator and valve.
This document is, in general, considered in conjunction with the specific requirements which may be agreed
between the parties concerned.
NOTE 1 In this document, the term “valve” can also be understood to include “valve with an intermediate support”
[see Figure 1 b)].
NOTE 2 When a combination of a multi-turn actuator and separate multi-turn/linear gearbox is coupled to form an
actuator, the multi-turn attachment to the gearbox is in accordance with this document [see Figures 1 c) and 1 d)]. A
combination of a multi-turn actuator with integral multi-turn/linear gearbox supplied as an actuator is in accordance
with Figures 1 a) and 1 b).

intermediate supports [see Figure 1 b)];
— those driving component dimensions of actuators which are necessary to attach them to the driven
components;

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
actuator
device designed for attachment to a general-purpose industrial valve in order to provide for the operation of
the valve
Note 1 to entry: The device is designed to operate using motive energy which can be electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic,
manual, etc., or a combination of these. Movement is limited by travel, torque (3.4) or thrust (3.5) or combination of
both.
3.2
multi-turn actuator
actuator (3.1) which transmits torque (3.4) to the valve for at least one revolution and may be capable of
withstanding thrust (3.5)
Note 1 to entry: An actuator can be a combination of a multi-turn actuator and multi-turn gearbox.

ISO 5210:2026(en)
3.3
linear actuator
actuator (3.1) which transmits thrust (3.5) to the valve for a defined linear stroke
Note 1 to entry: An actuator can be a combination of a multi-turn actuator (3.2) and linear gearbox.
3.4
torque
turning moment transmitted through the mounting flanges and couplings
Note 1 to entry: Torque is expressed in newton-metres (N·m).
3.5
thrust
axial force transmitted through the mounting flanges and couplings
Note 1 to entry: Thrust is expressed in kilonewtons (kN).
4 Maximum torques and thrusts
The torque and thrust shall comply with the values listed in Table 1 which represent the maximum torques
and thrusts which can be transmitted simultaneously through the mounting flanges and couplings. They are
based upon specified criteria.
Table 1 — Maximum torque and thrust values
Torque Thrust
Flange type
[N·m] [kN]
F05 20 10
F07 40 20
F10 100 40
F12 250 70
F14 400 100
F16 700 150
F25 1 200 200
F30 2 500 325
F35 5 000 700
F40 10 000 1 100
F48 20 000 2 000
F60 40 000 4 000
The values specified in Table 1 have been defined on the basis of bolts in tension at a stress of 290 MPa and
a coefficient of friction of 0,2 between the mounting interface. All variations in these defined parameters
lead to variations of the transmittable torque or thrust or combination of both values. See Annex A for an
explanation of the calculation method.
The selection of flange size for a particular application should take account of additional combination of
torques and thrust that may be generated at the valve stem because of sizing, safety factors, inertia or other
similar factors. Specifically, the torque and thrust generated at the maximum output torque and thrust of
the selected actuator shall be calculated and considered in the selection of the flange along with the ability
of the valve and actuator to withstand such torque and thrust forces.
5 Flange dimensions
Flanges for actuator attachment shall comply with the dimensions shown in Figure 2 and given in Table 2.
The method of attachment shall be by means of studs or through bolting.

ISO 5210:2026(en)
Holes for the studs/bolts shall be positioned off-centre (see Figure 3 and Table 3), shall be equi-spaced and
shall conform to the requirements of ISO 273.
The interface on the valve shall have a recess corresponding to the diameter d . A spigot on the actuator is
optional.
The minimum values for dimension h shown in Table 2 apply to flanges having material of proof stress
R ≥ 200 MPa. The minimum values for dimension h applied to flanges having materials of proof stress
e 2
R ≤ 200 MPa shall be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser. The minimum values for dimension h
e 3
shall be at least 1 × d .
Dimension d has been based on providing sufficient landing for the nuts and bolt heads where applicable.
Such landing is defined as a radius from the bolt hole centre with the dimension (d − d ) / 2 and is a
1 3
minimum. The flange shape of both valve and actuator outside these areas of landing is left to the discretion
of the manufacturer.
The dimensions and bolting material are based on bolts in tension at a maximum stress of 290 MPa. On
agreement, between the manufacturer/supplier and purchaser, bolting material with different tensile
strength can be used, with no dimensional changes but with potential variation of the transmittable torque
and thrust value.

The dimensions of the driving and driven components shall comply with the dimensions given in Tables 4 to
8.
ISO 5210:2026(en)
The depth of engagement of the valve-driven component into the actuator drive component and the
surface area of contact between the faces of the actuator drive component and the faces of the valve-driven
component should be considered to ensure that the stresses caused by contact do not exceed the capability
of the component materials. In some cases it can be necessary to use materials with superior mechanical
properties and/or to reduce the output torque of the actuator.
7.2 Dimensions for assemblies capable of transmitting both torque and thrust: Group A
Dimensions for assemblies of group A shall be as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 and given in Table 4
